Her heart ripped her apart.
Now it’s my part to take all her wrath.
Sharp-as-a-diamond knife
cuts through me to end her life.
Oh, my pain, is it her gain?
Oh, will this cut, erase her hurt?
Oh, will this wound, do any good?
I froze as her blood flows.
I feel the nerves died as her heart tries to decide.
To beat or not to beat.
To live or not to live.

Hey, I didn’t quite get the poem, what is her heart deciding? There are so many unanswered questions

Indeed this is an open ended poem. This is a poem told in the skin’s perspective. Skin of someone who commits suicide.
